QUOTE(weiiskruez @ Jul 4 2019, 02:20 PM) I am a wifi noob. Anyone did any comparison between TP Link C58HP vs WR841HP vs RT-N12HP? I have been searching for days and found nothing. Anyone with good advice? In terms of stability and distance. Get the TP-Link C2300 or the Asus RT-AC86U for the best performance.Previously with WR-841HP for 3 years, no issues at all. But lately, router went haywired. Low speed and keep disconnecting. No issues on the ISP side. Contacted TP Link and they recommended me with C58HP. However, I read alot about Asus being a better router. Not sure about the model I specified, RT-N12HP. Thank you ya... Don't scold scold ya... |

Hi Guys,
Need some help choosing a router. Appreciate some expert advice. Currently using Unifi 500Mbps package. Having issue with d-link router that TM supplied. I have narrow down to a couple of TP-LINK router that I would like to purchase : Archer A9 (RM 259) Archer A7 (RM 312) Archer C7 (RM 379) Archer A10 (RM 459) Archer C9 (RM469) I am leaning towards A9 due to the good review seen on some websites and the price. I wonder why A9 would be cheaper than A7. Any advice given is much appreciated. Thank you. |

You may get the C2300 which is the most recommended router as of now. Archer A10 doesn't have an USB Port. Thanks. |

You don't need to setup PPPoE. Just disable DHCP on the router which function as Access Point. Plug to LAN 1 Port on the old router. Thanks. |
